The hosts.xml and profiles.xml XSD files have not been very complicated 
(unless I forgot to add some important features *g*).

I did not test much yet but clicking-together an XML file within my 
eclipse environment works quite well. As well as verification.

If anybody likes to do some tests I checked in the files at 
<http://wpkg.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/wpkg/wpkg/current-development/xsd/>

The files do represent the current status of WPKG 1.1.0-M4 with some 
enhancements already. I decided to allow download nodes on the command 
nodes to specify downloads only for a specific command. As a result it 
is not any more required to download the installer package again if the 
package is removed (which is usually done on local files only, no need 
to download the installer again).

Rainer
